I have acted as assistant curator on the international project "Textile Culture Net" since October 2023 on behalf of the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, together with Sjouk Hoitsma (Head of Collections, TextielMuseum).
For this project, I proposed contemporary artworks from the TextielMuseum's collection for each thematic online exhibition curated by international guest curators. The exhibitions are posted on Instagram (@textielmuseum) and on the dedicated exhibition website (https://www.lottozero.org/textile-culture-net-exhibitions). I wrote the accompanying curatorial texts for the artworks selected from the TextielMuseum's collection and selected the photographs of those works to be included the exhibition.
'Memory Unsettled' by Célio Braga in The Unseen Self, curated by Caroline Kipp.
back to home
'A Ship of Fools' and 'Kanga for the Present' by Ada M. Patterson in another way of speaking, curated by Bukola Oyebode.
